91 pounds down, progress pictures... (pic heavy)

Hi! I've never made a post like this before, but I am in a super motivated mood this week - and, looking back over my photos, I just realised how far I really have come. Every pound is an achievement for everyone - and I think a lot of us can overlook this sometimes. Sometimes I still feel like I am the person who started losing weight 12-18 months ago.
So, I started out at 272 as my heaviest recorded weight, and right now I am 181. 140 has always been my go-to goal, but I am thinking of re-assessing at 160 and seeing how I feel. I've always been a "big" girl - since I was 5 or 6. I reached the age of around 18 and I was sick of feeling judged, looked at, ugly... And so my active attempt weight loss begun
Anyway, what you clicked for... photos, right?
This photo haunted me. A new friend of mine saw this photo and wondered which girl I was out of 30. She didn't believe that this was actually me.
16 years old, probably my highest weight. My worst photo, I was embarrassed to see this, but still didn't do anything. UK size 24-26.
Looking back, I wonder if I always looked so drawn and unhealthy as this...
Probably around 15-16 stone at this point (210-224), and a UK size 18-20. I avoided (and still do!) a lot of photos being taken, so unfortunately there's a big gap up until this photo.
On the way to my aunt's wedding, 13.5 stone (190), UK size 16-18.
181 pounds, current weight!
Slightly drunk at a friend's party and messing around... but a sort-of body pic...
(Oh, and I'm kinda proud of my collar bones now!)
Feel free to add me, anyone!
